Electricity is lazy. It will take the path of least resistance. If a ground wire is corroded, the starter motor will try to ground through the throttle cable, the brake line, or the wheel bearing—destroying them.
Disclaimer: Always consult the specific vehicle’s wiring diagram and service manual before performing electrical repairs. Modern vehicles contain high-voltage systems (EVs/Hybrids) that require specialized safety training. oracle auto electrical
When this fails, the oracle looks at . A healthy CAN bus system should read 60 ohms between CAN High and CAN Low (due to two 120-ohm terminating resistors in parallel). If you see 120 ohms, one resistor is missing (open circuit). If you see 0 ohms, the bus is shorted. Electricity is lazy
